Automations for Displaying Ticket Age in Zendesk

Learn about the automations needed to display ticket age in Zendesk views.

What automations are needed to display ticket age in Zendesk?

To display ticket age in Zendesk, you need to set up three automations.

Each automation updates the ticket age field based on how long the ticket has been open. For example, the first automation sets the age to '7 days' if the ticket is older than 167 hours. Similarly, the second and third automations update the age to '15 days' and '30 days' respectively, based on the ticket's age. These automations ensure that the ticket age field is always up-to-date.
